Chapter 338: Zhong Gu
On the way down the villa from the ghost lake, Li Mang was inexplicably a little uneasy and depressed.
This slowed him down, his brow furrowed slightly. Li Mang didn't think this was an illusion, because of the special nature of the cultivation exercises, his premonitions had always been very accurate, especially the prediction of danger.
But where does this danger come from? Li Mang was puzzled, Tianbao Chamber of Commerce? With the grudge between the two sides, it makes sense to kill him, but it will definitely not do anything to him here, the Tianbao Chamber of Commerce does not dare, and it also has to guard the neutral plaque.
Chiyou? It is very possible, but they probably don't dare to do it directly, first of all, this is the capital, and it is not far from the Yanhuang base camp, the other party will take care of it, at least it will not act recklessly.
"Mangzi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Yangzhou, who was walking in front, also noticed that something was wrong with Li Mang, and looked back at him suspiciously.
"Oh, it's okay, let's go!" Li Mang put away the strangeness on his face, smiled and hurriedly followed, but he was a lot more cautious in his heart. It's not something that comes for nowhere, and I'm afraid something will happen tonight.
Although Ge Xuelin is the vice president of the villa, he didn't make a big deal, and he didn't even invite other friends from the outside world, but just opened a table, and there were only Xiao Yangzhou, Xu Gaoyang, Lin Wei, Miao Nu, Zhao Hong, Li Mang, and the last one was Xiao Ling from Fulu's family, and she sat beside Ge Xuelin shyly.
"Yo, what's going on, why did you two get together, didn't you still quarrel the last time we met?" Li Mang was really surprised.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just here for a meal." Xiao Ling hurriedly explained, her whole face flushed.
"Xuelin. Is that really it? Li Mang looked at Ge Xuelin and asked with a smile.
"Ahem...... For the time being. Ge Xuelin's answer was quite scheming, for the time being, it may not be in the future.
"What do you say?" Xiao Ling glared at him shyly. It made everyone laugh.
"Take a seat, and get the food served." Ge Xuelin was busy interrupting the past, Xiaoling was thin-skinned, he was worried that she wouldn't be able to bear the joke and leave, so tonight's birthday banquet would be self-defeating.
There is no lively pomp and circumstance, but the atmosphere is lively, with good food and wine. There is also a cake after the meal, which is a simple dinner between friends.
After cutting the cake, the women left first. Leaving Li Mang and the four of them still clinking glasses, drinking Taoxiang No. 1 wine.
This wine is not very vigorous, but if you drink too much, it will also be intoxicating, and Li Mang is naturally fine. But Ge Xuelin, who has been respected a lot, is a little confused. The courage has also gained a lot, and he even began to extort a confession from Li Mang, "I said Mangzi, you and Yangzhou have been running to the ghost lake recently, is there something to hide from us?" โ
Everyone knows the grandeur of the ghost lake compound, and Li Mang's previous explanation is that it is a special place, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Everybody believes.
But recently, Xiao Yangzhou has been running to the top every day, but he has very little time to stay in the villa. The position of general manager exists in name only, which makes them feel uncomfortable.
Does Li Mang not trust them? This idea made people feel uncomfortable and blocked, and he couldn't help but say it with the strength of the wine.
"Don't think about it, I'll let you know later." Li Mang could only comfort him.
"Xuelin, don't be too careful, this is also for your good." Xiao Yangzhou was also busy talking.
"I know, but it's not good." Ge Xuelin waved his hand to signal that he was fine.
"Come on, come on, don't think about it, let's have another drink!" Xu Gaoyang was busy playing the round, and when he saw that the goblet in front of Li Mang was empty, he came over and poured the wine full.
"Drink!"
Li Mang was also in a bad mood, so he raised his cup without looking at it and drank it all. Ge Xuelin was right, this matter should no longer be hidden from them, and besides, he also lacked trustworthy people now, and it was time for them to start cultivating.
They then drank a lot, except for Li Mang, even Xiao Yangzhou, a rookie cultivator, was also drunk, and finally had to ask the waiter to help them back.
Coming out of the restaurant, the night was already dark, and the villa seemed a little quiet.
Involuntarily, Li Mang walked to Lin Wei's courtyard, and there was a faint and lonely sound of the piano inside, peaceful and quiet, urging people to sleep, and suddenly Li Mang was also a little drunk.
Under the courtyard lamp, Lin Wei sat upright in front of the stone table, gently playing the strings with her ten fingers, like a fairy.
Li Mang didn't go in to disturb her, so he stood outside the courtyard and listened, unable to bear to disturb this quiet and peaceful scene.
"Humph!"
The sudden labor pain in his abdomen made Li Mang's face change drastically, but he endured it without screaming, and left in a hurry with one hand covering his abdomen.
The sound of the piano in the courtyard of "Ding ......" was interrupted, and Lin Wei frowned and looked at the courtyard door. Li Mang came with light steps, she didn't notice it, but when she left, she walked very quietly.
It's already good to be able to walk, and Li Mang still cares about the movement of walking. Got a bad stomach? Is this possible, with Li Mang's current physique, even if he drinks a bottle of pesticide dichlorvos, it may not be fine, and his digestive ability is even more comparable to others.
Poisoned? Most likely, Li Mang felt as if his abdomen and intestines were about to be torn, which was a heart-rending pain, soybean-sized sweat poured down his forehead, and the clothes on his body were quickly wet.
But this is still a mountain villa, he didn't dare to shout out, he didn't want everyone to worry, and he was even more worried about causing trouble to them, and the abnormality of his body was no accident.
But it was difficult to insist on returning to the ghost lake, Li Mang had just left the villa and threw himself into the woods, planning to find a random place to treat himself.
"Poof!"
was just mixed by a miscellaneous vine, Li Mang hit the front and fell and gnawed on dog shit, but he couldn't care about it, and he struggled to sit down cross-legged and look inward to investigate the condition of his body.
"Gu worm!" Li Mang's face turned pale at once, not frightened, but more angry and unacceptable. This Gu worm was undoubtedly carelessly subdued in the meal just now, who is it......
"Whew!"
Without waiting for Li Mang to think about it, there was a strong energy in front of him. Despite the physical pain, in the face of the threat of life and death, Li Mang still managed to gather a force to slap the ground and let his body fly away from the spot.
"Bang!"
The tree behind Li Mang's original position was directly blasted open and fell down with a bang.
Although he escaped the assassination, Li Mang was also a wolf, and it took a few rolls to stand firm, and the cold sweat on his forehead was a little more. But at this moment, he could only endure this, and looked up at the killer as soon as possible.
It was pitch black ahead, and only a pair of eyes could see it in the night, apparently with a black cloth wrapping head. This decoration Li Mang is naturally not unfamiliar, and it is a unique costume for the Chiyou Dead Killer.
Holding the abdomen with one hand, he took out the spirit sword with the other hand, and tried to stand up, but the muscles of his whole body kept beating, enduring the sharp pain transmitted from his abdomen to all parts of his body.
"Jie Ji, tonight is the rhythm of meritorious service." The masked killer smirked, and also raised the long knife in his hand, shooting out a silver-white edge in the night.
"Even if you want to kill me, Chiyou should send someone else." Li Mangqiang said with a smile.
"Don't try to provoke me, do you think you still have a hedgehog sword? The current lord of the ghost lake has difficulty even walking, hehe. The killer sneered. But judging from his slightly louder voice, he was still unconsciously angered by Li Mang's words.
"Huh!" Before the words fell, the masked killer rushed quickly, and the long knife cut through the night sky and slashed at Li Mang's head.
His mission this time is to kill Li Mang, and he will naturally not show mercy, if this fails, his head will not be saved. Chi You Dead Killer has cruel discipline, if he is not killed in the mission, he may also be executed alive by the leader in charge, Li Mang is in such a situation, he has his share if he can't complete the task and go back to Ling Chi.
"Bell!" Li Mang could only passively resist with the spirit sword, but after a few times like this, his body became more and more wolf-like, and it was difficult to even stand firm.
On the other hand, the masked killer becomes more and more courageous, especially when he almost killed Li Mang several times, he can see his eyes and emit a smug and fiery light, and when he starts again, he looks a little disregardful, and the chapter is completely chaotic.
Sรจ, proud, maybe in his opinion, Li Mang is already a dead guy, and he can't even stand on his feet, how can he be his opponent.
It's just that he didn't realize that although Li Mang seemed passive, and although Li Mang was almost killed by him every time, he was able to accurately resist his attacks every time.
If he looked at it seriously, maybe he could find that Li Mang was constantly paralyzing his nerves, making him feel that Li Mang was no longer a threat and would definitely die.
Once self-confidence is inflated, it is inevitable that you will be careless and will inevitably show flaws.
"Buzz!"
A terrifying flame suddenly flew out of Li Mang's body, and swept towards the masked killer with a vigorous sweep, maybe he didn't expect it, or maybe he didn't care, he just used a long knife to resist
